Sticker & 3D Dome Sticker Application Guide

Sticker & 3D Dome Sticker Application Guide

Our stickers are engineered to perform best on smooth, glossy, and clean surfaces. Correct surface choice and preparation are what separate a sticker that lasts years from one that fails in days.

Application Steps

  • Clean the surface using alcohol or a degreaser. Remove dust, oil, and wax.
  • Dry completely. The surface must be clean and dry.
  • Position the sticker without removing the backing to check placement.
  • Peel the backing and apply from one edge to the other.
  • Press firmly from the center outward to remove air bubbles.
  • For dome stickers, apply gentle pressure only. Do not bend the dome.
  • Let the adhesive set for 24 hours before washing or riding.

Recommended Surfaces (Best Adhesion)

Apply your stickers and dome stickers on surfaces that are glossy, clean, and smooth:

  • Glass surfaces
  • Automotive body panels
  • Motorcycle windshields
  • All motorcycle body gloss panels
  • Road bike metal frames
  • Helmet gloss surfaces
  • Tumblers and stainless steel cups
  • Motorcycle tanks (gloss finish)
  • Painted metal panels
  • Flat windshield plastic
  • Car hoods and emblems
  • Glossy plastic-coated surfaces
  • Appliance panels with smooth coating

These surfaces allow the adhesive to fully bond and give you the longest outdoor life.

Where NOT to Apply (Not Recommended)

Avoid surfaces that are oily, textured, rough, or highly curved:

  • Panels with wax, oil, or polish
  • Mudguards and splash guards
  • Under-seat panels
  • Transmission covers
  • Leather surfaces
  • Fabric surfaces
  • Matte or rubberized plastics
  • Rough plastic or textured bumpers
  • Highly curved areas
  • Oily or dirty surfaces
  • Soft PVC or silicone-like materials
  • Deep contour plastics and rounded tanks
  • Painted surfaces with oil or wax residue

These surfaces prevent proper adhesion and will cause early failure.

Important Notes for 3D Dome Stickers

  • Apply only on flat or lightly curved glossy surfaces
  • Do not apply on sharp curves or edges
  • Avoid extreme heat for the first 24 hours
  • Epoxy dome is best for indoor and light outdoor use
  • DZNYO Resin Sticker Pro is built for long-term outdoor use

Disclaimer

Sticker lifespan and adhesion performance depend on surface type, preparation, and environmental exposure. DZNYO is not liable for adhesion failure caused by improper surface selection or incorrect application.

This is how you get the longest life and the cleanest finish from your DZNYO stickers.
